"...Fantastic pillars of glowing dust and gas with embedded newborn stars...sculpted by the intense wind and radiation from Eta Carinae and other massive stars...this remarkable cosmic vista is largely obscured by nebular dust and only revealed here in penetrating infrared light."

Fascinating story and photos. Keep it coming NASA.
We want to see more. Is there any way we can bring down the price of these photos? I think the software, intrumentation, and manpower involved comes out to something like, say, $5,000,000.00 per photo. What's your guess?

What do Saturn's rings look like from the other side? From Earth, we usually see Saturn's rings from the same side of the ring plane that the Sun illuminates them. Geometrically, in the above picture taken in April by the robot Cassini spacecraft now orbiting Saturn, the Sun is behind the camera but on the other side of the ring plane. This vantage point, specifically 17 degrees above the ring plane, gives a breathtaking views of the most splendid ring system in the Solar System. Strangely, the rings have similarities to a photographic negative of a front view. The ring brightness as recorded from different angles indicates ring thickness and particle density of ring particles. Elsewhere, ring shadows can be seen on the sunlit face of Saturn, shown sporting numerous cloud structures in nearly true color.
